ARTIST'S MISSION STATEMENT
ARTIST'S MISSION STATEMENT A lifelong passion for painting faces and figures led to my extensive study of the Methods of the Masters. My years at a school of portrait painting in Florence, Italy, have enhanced my ability to see a subject on a deeper level. If the eyes are the windows of the soul, I seek and find the elusive spirit through those eyes.In the tradition of Masters, such as Rembrandt and Velasquez, my palette for skin is confined to black, white, red and yellow only. This restriction serves to liberate me to express nuances and translucence of the complexion and illuminate the spirit of my live model more fully. I strive to present my subject so as to display the soul to viewers for generations to come. (904) 246-0978 |
